JoeyH3 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I recently purchased an used PowerMac G4 Quicksilver, 733Mhz, 512Mb RAM, 80Gb and 40Gb hard drives. It came with OS 10.3 on it, but the seller also included a bunch of CDs to install Mac OS 10.4 with it (it was a school selling alot of used computers). The problem is, the 10.4 CDs are for an eMac, not a PowerMac G4. When I try to install the OS, it says "This software cannot be installed on this computer". Is there anyway I can easily override this? I am not quite fond of how all modern software (Safari 3, Firefox 3, iTunes 8, etc) requires 10.4 or later, but I'm stuck with 10.3.

A Nonny Moose Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 The eMac disk will not work because it's keyed for the eMac through some strange quirk. With that out of the way...
